This car has an inertia switch that shuts off the fuel pump in an accident. I would bet that it tripped.

It sounds like the engine "jumped" off timing. listen to the engine while cranking, if timing is off or chain is broken you maybe able to hear a different noise. like hollow for example. best luck to you!

When I slammed on brakes to miss a deer now my 2000 Ford expedition won't go in drive

My guess would be bad motor mounts have let the engine and transmission shift and now the shifter cable doesn't align as it should

I ran off the road into a field to avoid hitting a deer. It was abrupt & bumpy. Now my front passenger tire is bent inward and steering wheel must be sideways for the truck to run straight. What are...

If the tire on the rim is still holding air and the rim isn't obviously bent it should be alright if you go nice and slow but would still be a better idea to put a spare on it if you got it. Slamming off the road though it's possible you just threw it out of alignment which would be great, but then again you could have bent part of your steering linkage.

1999 ford explorer want shut off when key is turned off and is taken of key cylinder

there is a rod or rack inside the steering column that pulls back on the ignition switch. the ignition switch is bad or the rod is bent from tilt steering if the wheel is slammed up. on the otherhand the switch may be right inside the colum attatched to the ignition tumbler> either way it is an ignition swithc problem.
